I don't like it much because it's a bit off from the type of changes many >people want to see; it doesn't set rules for illegals already here, and it >doesn't fast-track qualified migrants already in the system.
But it is clever enough and better than nothing; it can be viewed as an >initiative, and more detail can be added in the future.
It's great that we're going to declare "No more asylum claims to be made
from
the border," but who are we telling that to? People who care about what the >rules are? Where would we find such people?
The other part that's good, but quirky, is "Skilled workers first." Last I >heard, we do have demand for skilled workers, but what's so bad about >unskilled workers who know how to use doors? People who come here lawfully >with no skills shouldn't feel left out. They can be trained here.
So it's a bit messy, but I'll take it. Like Devin Nunes said "Democrats >should create their own proposal instead of just criticizing Trump's >proposal." But when will that happen? Obama was too busy for it, house >democrats are too busy for it, maybe people just need to do some classic >pencil whipping.

more white folks would be allowed to immigrate than non-whites.
Therefore, Donald Trump is a racist.

Are you sure that "non-whites are uneducated" and that "President Trump is
the racist?"
(I'm learning how to "do the twist.")
Andrew Young, who was raised in New Orleans, put things nicely
by saying we are all racists and bigots, that what we do to overcome racism and bigotry (as individuals and as a society) is how we define ourselves.

This is something I've been saying in recent years too. My version is that >everyone is racist but some people are better at keeping peace than others. >(not that one group is better, but one person is better than another)
But I don't see the immigration proposal as racist, just lousy and
phoned-in.
I don't see white people benefiting from it, except for those whites who

in-demand skills and who are coming from other countries. If more whites >benefit from this type of immigration plan (which is unlikely) that would be >either by chance, or because of racism is their home country.
